The Brick

05.11.09

With triathlon training you have the OD ride, the tempo swim, the endurance bike, the endurance run, tempo run, OD run, endurance swim, drill swim, the tempo ride and the brick.  Ahhh, the brick…to me, there is nothing more empowering, challenging or enjoyable than the brick.  I sometimes think about life after triathlon, it mostly just includes traveling the world; long rides across the French countryside, swimming in the Adriatic and running along the beaches of New Zealand - definitely an active lifestyle but not triahtlon specific.  A life beyond biking, swimming and running 6 days a week is a possibility but then I think about the brick and how much I love it and I think, for me, there is no life beyond the brick.  I think that workout will be with me forever.

Not a problem though,  I’ll just have to run to the Tuscany winery after long ride through the vineyards.
